My first 10k is completed!
I started running about a year and half ago. My first run I "ran" approximately 60 seconds before I thought I was going to die. I spent months running with sore shins, sore knees and a sore ego!

This makes 20 waffles in my waffle iron (not a belguim one) and I freeze them in small batches so that I can take them out and warm them up in the toaster…

exhausted after increasing distance
I ran 4 miles yesterday which is farther then I usually run...3 1/2 was my previous longest run. I felt good, but of course tired after my run. The problem is today I feel exhausted. I am eating well so I know that is not the problem. Does anyone else feel this way after increasing their distance or intensity? I feel like…

looking for friends!
I would really like to find some like minded people on here for some inspiration. I am currently NOT on a low calorie diet (per my trianer) and am working to build lean muscle mass and lose body fat. I work out 5-6 days a week lifting, running and interval training. While fat loss is a goal for me I am trying to…

seems like a lot of calories
Hi Everyone, I have been working out, mostly running, 3-4 times a week for about a year and a half now.

In January I really upped my exercise when I…
